Weather advisoryone for the diaries
Windy and cold so stay off the road
It's bitter outside your windows
Stack your blanketslight your candles
There isn't a phone boothand ain't it the cold truth
It's a lonely old highwayjust me and the plows
Making the most of their payday
Laying salt in the wounds of the roadways
(chorus)
For your bed I'll beat the cold
With a blizzard in my headlightsor an avalanche in the road
Snow blinds every road sign
So I'm counting the miles as I'm going
There's a shroud of black ice forming
The radio sends out ample warning...
Up on the next hilla trailer truck load spilled it spun in a jacknifeand now it's a still life
Framed by the flares and the cruisersorange coats and one sore loser...
(chorus)
In hindsightit's been a long night
And where I was was not so cold
Another sound bite off the dash lights
It's more than a foot or so they're told
Two hundred miles to chicagomy eyes froze to the road
Mesmerized as the windshield collides with the snow...
